The transition from nursery to big-kid room is beyond bittersweet. It officially marks that moment in time when your little one has moved out of their crib and transitioned into the stage of acting more like a big-kid. Max has been in a full size bed for over a year now, and yet the rest of his room has sat completely untouched.
Leaving a room in limbo for too long is a big NO for me. I start to not care, making it a space that I just close the door too and that is totally not okay. Max’s room is one that he is hardly in, he is the worse sleepover, and I think that that alone made it hard to put some effort behind.
So what made me decide to to finally give his room the attention it deserves? My vision boards – Babes! If you haven’t signed up to have a vision board created by me, for you – DO IT. Follow this link and you can see how you can get started! It was so easy to follow my vision board and pull the room together. Would you believe it if I told you I spent less than 24 hours making over Max’s room. Painting and all!
Here is a little glimpse of what a mess it ways just days ago ….
To say there was a lack of flow in his room is a total understatement! I made the choice to makeover Max’s room without breaking the bank. I kept his makeover at $400 – plus or minus ten dollars or so! It’s unreal what you can do to a space within budget and just one day worths of hard work!
I knew when picking pieces for the vision board that I wanted his room to be a space that he could continue to grow into. Choosing decor that can easily be swapped/or/added too was key!
The Bungalow Rose Rug stole my heart the second I scrolled past it. I liked the idea of having a dark rug to ground the space, and of course, to hide all of the stains that are sure to happen with 3 boys! Wayfair has thousands of rugs to comb through, check out all of the options here!
How many play tables have you guys gone through with each kid? I swear, we use them for a year and then they get donated or handed off to someone. Well, it has been years since we have had one in the house – and now I remember exactly why we always bought one. Because the kids actually USE them! Max has been obsessed with having a table that is just the right size for him to do his art work on! This play table was such an insanely low price! So many great play tables to choose from, colors/size/style!
I have such a love/hate relationship with curtains. It is SO hard to tell the quality of a curtain online. Wayfair makes it so much easier to shop, there are always tons of reviews and pictures to gage whether or not your purchase will end up turning into a return! We’ve all been there! These curtains BLEW MY MIND. They are thick, weighted at the bottom, black out, and so so beautiful I already have more in my cart for other rooms in my home. These CURTAINS are a winner – and on SALE big time! Wayfair, by far, in my experience has always had the best price for quality on curtains. Going through the reviews will help make a wise choice before you check out!
The thought of extra-long book shelves in Max’s room kept me up at night. It’s the one decor feature that I knew had to happen. When I stumbled across these stunning oak wood shelves, I knew I had to pick up two sets to make my dreams come true. They come in a pair, I lined them up side by side giving the illusion of one really long shelf! Whether you want one shelf, wood or white, modern or rustic – look at all Wayfair has to choose from. The Alphabet Print is such a cute touch! I chose to place the picture in front of the matting in the frame, and it looks great! SO many framed pieces to add to your home, check them out.
Max’s room has scratched an itch that I have been dodging for an entire year. I could not be happier with the results, and the look on his sweet face when he saw his room for the first time made me so so excited for him!
Last but not least, the BED!! Babes, this bed is SOOoOoOoO affordable I every single one of my kiddos has it. They are just as gorgeous in real life as they are in pictures!
Giving this room a rapid makeover was exactly the push I needed to not give up on other spaces that I feel are just SO dull feeling in our home right now. YOU can too decorate your space on a budget, and transform a room in a matter of days. Make sure to sign up for my customize vision board – and let’s make your dream room a reality!!
